It looks like Reese Witherspoon will need to warm up her pipes once again.

The actress, who won an Oscar in 2005 for her portrayal of June Carter in “Walk the Line," is in talks to play the legendary singer and performer Peggy Lee, according to Variety.

Lee rose to fame in the 1940’s, and went on to record a number of hit albums and songs, including “Is That All There Is?”

Witherspoon is already on board as producer of the project, along with Marc Platt, whom the 34-year-old actress worked with on the “Legally Blonde” franchise. Witherspoon secured the rights to Lee’s story from her estate after meeting with Lee’s granddaughter.

I can't believe Reese won an Oscar for her portrayal of June Carter Cash in Walk the Line. I watched the movie, and I felt like hurling at her annoying overcutesiness. June Carter Cash was not at all sickening like that. God, please don't blow her head up by allowing her to portray any other historical musical figures. What is wrong with people when they can't sense fake sincerity.

@bailoutsos- yes thank you for missing my sarcasm and explaining my point I was making (apparently too subtly for those who don't know how to read between the lines) back at me. If it weren't entertaining I'd of just called him a moron and moved on.

I'm just thrilled at the news that not only are they making a move about Peggy Lee who I loved, but Nora Ephron is writing the script and directing. Nora's last effort, Julia & Julie, was fantastic. This will be as well. And Reese will do very well in the role. She is becoming the younger Meryl Streep in the diversity and depth of the roles she takes on. I love her movies, even the "Legally Blond" franchise.

Peggy Lee had such an interesting life, this project is long over due. At least in my opinion. I just hope that it doesn't end up over-romanticized, by glossing over her hard-scrabble youth in North Dakota or in glossing up her rise to fame.

Actually, the movie has been kicked around for way too many years. Back in the early 90's, when they first tried to get this movie made, Melissa Etheridge had all the buzz about being cast as Janis. THAT would have been the best possible casting. They took too long, and she is no longer the right age.

I would rather see the role go to Joss Stone than Crystal Bowersox. Joss could do an amazing job with it.

She was fantastic as June Carter Cash but I'm having to really stretch my mind (and ears) to hear her singing as Peggy Lee. Also, Peggy was from the time where women had a little curve so Reese, ya better lay off the treadmill and soften those boney jaws a bit.
